Is Misty Knight #4 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2018 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Misty Knight #4 sells for $39.00 against $3.51 raw: a $35.49 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
